Life is Strange YouTube Guidelines

We’ve received a lot of questions regarding copyright claims on your Life is Strange let's play videos. We wanted to help our community out by providing some further information on this.

Life is Strange owns the rights to have licensed music tracks featured in the game but we do not own the rights for them to be distributed online or on YouTube. This can cause some issues with your let’s play videos, as the music may be automatically flagged as a copyright claim. This may prevent you from monetizing your content or could result in ads displayed before your video.

We've provided some instructions below to help you out with this.

If you receive a copyright claim for any of these tracks you can do one of the following options:

• Edit your video and cut around the music track
• Replace music with a track you can use
• Take no further action (if you do not monetize your videos)

If you wish to know more about copyright claims, we recommend contacting YouTube support.

Here is the complete list of licensed music in Life is Strange that could cause a copyright claim from other networks:

Here are all the areas of Episode 1 where a licensed track features in the game (we have specific scene details hidden due to spoilers):

Blackwell Academy hallway (as you leave classroom)

: Syd Matters – To All Of You

Girls Dormitories, Max’s room (turning on the hi-fi)

: Jose Gonzales – Crosses

Chloe’s room (Max turns on CD player and inserts CD)

: Angus and Julia Stone: Santa Monica Dream

Chloe’s room (Chloe plays music on CD player)

: Sparklehorse – Piano Fire

We've loved seeing all of your Life is Strange videos so far and we hope to see more when episode 2 is released on March 24.

Many thanks

The Life is Strange team.

Hi there! I noticed that "Syd Matters - Obstacles" is not part of that list at the end. Does this mean it would be fine to use in a youtube video?
